Santtu Laine selected for Tokyo Art & Science Research Residency 2025
During his residency, Laine will experiment with using marine bacteria to carve and shape bioplastics, exploring how bacteria can be used for bio-etching to create organic patterns on the bioplastic surface. Laine is also keen to learn about the traditional methods of processing Japanese tengusa-seaweed (Gelidium amansii) and the production of kanten.
